My customers want 1) Antler or 2) Walnut. I show them the other woods/acrylics/materials I have on hand. They don't even want to look at the other choices. I thought I'd never say this, but I'm tired of turning antler and walnut LOL

Thanks to all of you... I've never turned antler, is there anything special in working with it?

Thanks!

Yes , get a gas mask , that stuff stinks . I guess I just have a weak stomach but I puked my guts out the only time I tried to turn it . My wife wasn't too happy either , made me get undressed and leave my clothes outside to air out .

I guess I've gotten used to the smell... I don't think antler smells any more than other things we turn... I know there's an odor, but I don't find it terribly offensive.
